1t swims with Body Under water and DO

Count Joachim Pfeil, the German AT
rican explorer, who has just left Ger
many as governor general Of the Somalf|
country, gives the following account Of 4
mysterious creature seen on the coast Of
the Ulanga district 1--WE often saw an
animal in the water which we first be-
lieved to be aserpent from It's movements,
and from the fact that only NOW and
then it appeared on the surface for q few
seconds. Once. when we shot at II, We
were SURPRISED to see II rise out of she

The neck was very long and thin, and
ended in long, pointed Fbeak, at the

bird is under water whitley swimming
only the long neck was seen. If 1t was

interesting Celtic Antiquities Of the
county Meath.

interesting Celtic Antiquities Of the
county Meath.
Among the most interesting monu-
ments Of prehistoric Pagan, times in
Ireland are those found on and near the
banks of the river Boyne, in the county
of Meath, few miles west of Drogheda.
Here was the cemetery of some of the
princes and chieftains of Erin at a
period to which no certain date can be
ascribed, but to which may be referred
the half-mythical traditions Of the
Tuatha-de- Danaan, the fair-haired race
of strangers, valiant horsemen, singers
and Aarpers, and magicians, who are
supposed to have conquered some part
of the island, and to have established
their kings throne on the Hill of Tara.
Of their protfacted wars against the
FomoriaHs and the Firbolgs, whoever
those Invaders were; of the Fomorian
King Balor, who had one eye in the
middle of his forehead and another in the
back Of his head, which could kill men
by glance; and of Nuada Airgeat
Lamb, the king with a silver hand, made
to replace his hand lost in the battle of
Moytura, the lovers of romantic fables may
read at their pleasure 1t is probable
that Meath was; in a very remote age,
the abode of a warlike people, who
gained considerable ascendency over
the tribes of the adjacent parts of Ire
land and whose King may sometimes
have been the head of federal league
to resist the incursions of the Danes and
Norsemen.
The sepulchral mounds, cairns or bur-
rows In the neighborhood of Dowth and
NeWgrange, associated with the names of
King Dubhath and AchAd Aldai 1.-THE
nance Of aDowthn being a corruption of
ssDubhath," in the opinion Of Celtic
scholars) were examined by members of
the Royal Irish Academy forty years ago.
The Dowth mound is an immense pile of
small boulder stones, in the interior of
which are chambers and passages, con-
structed of very large blocks of stone
rudely laid together, in the "dolmen"
fashion of Brittany and of other Celtic
examples the first chamber formed in
the shape Of cross Though certainly
not Of Christian design), contained q
broken stone coffin, with a few bronze or
iron ornaments and half burnt human
bones. A passage twenty feet long
conducts to series of small crypts, and
to square chamber, the stones Of which
are sculptured with variety of decora-
tive, perhaps symbolical patterns and
devices The more important of these
have engaged the study of antiquaries,
with view to ascertain their possible
significance. They appear in the great
est richness and completely on the huge
stones of the interior of the great sepul-
chral monument at Newgrange; the carv-
ings are Of wonderful diversity circles,
spirals, zigzas, indentations, lozenges,
and lines Of dots, which some think to
be form of writing. Illustrated London
